I believe there's no problem; I don't force a value to db_file, so the serialized configuration doesn't have any. MPD has a mechanism that scans the MPD user directory for XDG locations such as ~/.cache; when such directories exist it supports automatically figuring out a location for the database file and creating it itself. If the user has specified something precise, it'd be a bug in MPD that it doesn't honor these settings instead. Does it clarify the mechanism? -- Thanks, Maxim
